If any G5 end up in the P5 this decade, it will not be via "expansion", but rather as the result of "backfill" after a P5 is wounded by a raid from another P5. No P5 will willingly and voluntarily add any G5 schools.
Absolutely. If any of the P5's wanted a G5, there was nothing stopping them from taking them already. The Big 12 had plenty of chances to take UCF and/or USF, Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, BYU, etc, but chose to stay at 10.
I tend to think that the B12 kicked the can last time on expansion to wait and see who rises and who falls out of the candidates that they narrowed it down to, all of whom were fairly level at the time.
